Our Children are disappearing without a trace, This world has become a very sad place.. Parents are taking their children from one another, Children are growing up without knowing their dad or mother.. Adults do it to punish each other, but you see, It's the children that suffer unfortunately.. Then we all have to worry about the very real danger, Of our children being taken by a stranger.. We can't let our children out of our sight, We have to fear for their safety, and that is not right.. Every parent has to worry when we turn back around, Our children will be gone without making a sound.. Then there are the ones that just run away, No one ever listens to what they have to say.. They have no hope, there is no escape they can find, So they live on the streets that are far from being kind.. We all need to save them before it's too late, For they are just trying to run away from their fate.. They feel like no one cares if they live or they die, No one has heard them the many times for help they did cry.. Everyone turns their backs, they do not want to be involved, But with an attitude like that, no problems get solved.. We have to show all the children we do care, Take a troubled child by the hand if you dare.. This world has become a real disgrace, Our children are missing without a trace.. Turn on the television, it's all over the news, It's a battle we just can not afford to lose.. We have to fight, we can never give in, This is one war we just have to win.. This horrible thing strikes everywhere you turn, Just take a look around and you will soon learn.. It does not seem to matter if you are rich or poor, Nor does it favor one color of skin more.. We must band together to win this fight, To save our children we have to do what is right.. Hear their voices, hear their cries, Save our children before their innocence dies.. They are our future, surely we can do more, It is our children we are fighting for.. Everytime you see a picture of a missing child, Remember it could be your child whose life has gone wild.. You may think there is nothing one person could do, But that one person that can make a difference might be you.. If you never try, how can you know? Our children deserve a chance to laugh and to grow.. Look at their faces and think of how they feel, We must save our missing children or no one else will.. Our children are disappearing at an alarming rate, Their world is filled with sorrow and hate.. Look at our missing children and feel their fears, They are all crying, see their tears.. Don't turn away, we have to see their pain, Or it will be our hands their blood will stain.. 08/24/98 By Emerald
